Committees

Committee members keep the church and its programs going. We welcome those who would like to give their time and creativity to these efforts. Committee members not only form friendships, but they also put the beliefs of the church and its members into action. Contact the church office at 615-383-5760 or office@firstuunashville.org for information on these Committees and related groups.
